Natural and lighter shades can help create a bright, understated appearance, while smoked and darker tones add depth and contrast.

The repeating herringbone pattern introduces movement and visual interest, making it a popular choice for living rooms, dining areas, bedrooms and entrance halls.

Before ordering, check the product's installation instructions and confirm the correct laying method for the pattern.

How Much Laminate Flooring Do You Need?

To calculate how much flooring you need, measure the length and width of your room and multiply these measurements to find the total floor area in square metres. As a general guide, allow an additional 5–10% for cutting and wastage, depending on the room's shape and layout.

Herringbone flooring may require a different wastage allowance because of its laying pattern. We recommend confirming the required quantity with your installer before ordering to help avoid shortages or unnecessary costs.

Is Core Collection Laminate Flooring Right for Your Home?

Core Collection Laminate Flooring is worth considering if you want an oak-effect appearance with a choice of plank and herringbone layouts. The range gives you flexibility to coordinate the floor with different furniture styles, wall colours and room designs.

Before buying, check the product-specific information for installation requirements, compatible underlay, cleaning guidance, moisture limitations and suitability for underfloor heating, if applicable. Do not assume that every laminate product is suitable for every room or installation condition. The right preparation and care will help you make an informed choice for your space.

The collection information also highlights a 20-year warranty and FSC certification. Check the relevant product documentation and warranty terms to confirm which listed products are covered and the conditions that apply.

Caring for Your Laminate Flooring

Keep your laminate floor looking its best with regular, simple care. Remove loose dust and grit with a suitable vacuum or soft brush, and wipe spills promptly. Use a well-wrung cloth and a laminate-compatible cleaning product, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Avoid excessive water, steam cleaning and abrasive products unless the product manufacturer specifically permits them. Place suitable protective pads beneath furniture legs and use entrance mats to help reduce the amount of grit tracked indoors. Following the product's care guidance can help maintain its appearance over time.
